Welcome to Caterpillar Nursery!
We look forward to welcoming lots of new children this half term. Our older children are looking forward to making new friends and being role models to the new children.
Our Summer 1 leaning is based around the topic of 'Come Outside'. Lots of learning will be based on plants and growth. We will be planting a variety of seeds and other plants and watching them grow over time as well as naming the different part of plants. Some of of our learning will be linked to the popular stories 'Stickman' by Julian Donaldson and 'Farmer Duck' by Martin Waddell. Each week we will focus on a different part of the story (characters, setting etc) with lots of activities in nursery based around them. Our nursery rhymes we will be learning and singing in class will be:
Our Maths work this half term will focus on the number 5 (counting 5 objects, recognising the pattern of 5 on a dice, recognising the numeral 5), 1 more and 1 less (using counting equipment, counting forwards and backwards) and naming simple 2D and 3D shapes.
Please remember that our Forest School sessions are every Wednesday throughout the year. Please dress your child appropriately for these sessions and ensure that they have waterproof footwear preferably wellies. We have a weekly PE session in the school hall on Thursday, where children will need to wear trainers as there will be lots of running about.
In Nursery we aim to follow the children's interests, allowing them to explore the provision independently through play and we ensure they spend equal amounts of time in the provision both inside and outside. Due to the changing weather please ensure you send your child in warm clothes with suitable shoes and with a waterproof coat.
We are really looking forward to working closely with you and your child. If you have any questions, concerns or queries please do not hesitate in contacting a member of the Nursery team.
Thank you for your continued support.
